1818réf. List2715Augusta Georgia 1818. Single letter three 9 x 16 inch pages letters with some tape repairs and stray holes at folds still quite legible. Very good. A letter written by Calvin Barnard to his friend Asa Holman of Bolton Massachusetts describing the former’s trip from Boston to Augusta South Carolina from November 25 to January 1. Barnard first traveled from Boston to Charleston South Carolina by boat from which he notes “almost a continual gagging and vomiting” from the passengers. In Charleston Barnard observes that the city is inelegant the unpaved streets “filled with mud” and views “the breastworks which were thrown up during the last war”. This would have been the War of 1812 of which Barnard was likely a veteran. South Carolina had engaged upwards of 5000 soldiers and had put up defenses along the coastline in anticipation of the war but it did not come to the mainland – although South Carolina was under naval blockade and the Sea Islands were targeted by the British. Barnard reaches Savannah Georgia on the 25th of December; similarly he finds it “although a place of considerable business” “about as dissatisfactory a place I ever was in.” Augusta which he reaches by foot “is much handsomer built and situated than Savannah but not less dissipated” – he remarks that “Being the first day of the year is in this part of the country another great day for getting drunk.” After spending some time in Augusta he finishes the letter with some pointed observations about its residents: “I have had a better opportunity of becoming acquainted with the manners customs and dispositions of the citizens of Augusta . I shall not do them injustice by dividing them into three classes in which the Negroes are excepted. The first class of which are the gentry as they would expect to be called made up of men from all parts who have become rich here mostly by avaricious and unjust means . And this class we cannot expect to see drink more than once a week. The second is mostly the natives of this state and South Carolina who are men of a little property of a little education and very little of an honorable principle of any kind and these are not often seen drunk in the forenoon. The third class appears to me to be made up of the off-scouring of every bad place on earth for I never saw their equal for drunkenness lying stealing fighting swearing from morning till morning again. It is not possible that the continent of America has in any other place their equal. If it had I think the whole world soon be sunk.” He finds Augusta’s African-American residents the only trustworthy ones despite local opinions: “If any stealing is done here it is laid to the Negroes but I had my surtout a shirt and handkerchief stolen on Friday night last but have too good an opinion of the blacks to think they have them.” Of interest as an outsider’s views on the early Antebellum South and on drinking – another pressing social issue of the day. unknown

1956réf. 56756Various locations in Pakistan including Peshawar Lahore Dacca and Karachi. 1956. U.S.-Pakistani Educational Cooperation During the Cold War A likely-unique assemblage of photographs and ephemera relating to an educational workshop conducted by the United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan USEFP in the mid-20th century. A non-governmental organization still active more than seventy years after its founding the USEFP's goal is to promote educational cooperation between the U.S. and Pakistan. After gaining its independence from Britain in 1947 Pakistan sought to remain technically non-aligned with regard to Cold War international politics but over time developed a significant relationship with the United States including the leasing of the Peshawar Air Station for American use beginning in 1956. Most of the larger photographs in this album have typed captions and document various Pakistani officials and USEFP members speaking and teaching during an educational workshop in "West Pakistan" running discussion groups and meetings and attending receptions and other activities. There is also a "Group photo of the members and the Delegation of the Education Foundation." One of the speakers who worked for the USEFP and is pictured here leading a discussion group is Calvin Cope who seems to be the compiler of the present album; two newspaper articles on Cope's experiences in Pakistan are mounted in the rear of the album. Cope was a university professor and administrator at Monterey Peninsula College in California who spent a year in a teaching program after receiving a Fulbright grant. In addition to the professional photographs Cope has included thirty vernacular photos in the album two of which picture him and his wife in traditional Pakistani dress one of these is reproduced in one of the newspaper clippings about Cope. Most of the other vernacular pictures show Pakistani students in school and at play and include multiple shots of Pakistani friends as well as additional photos from the educational workshop providing a deeper look into the event. Besides the two newspaper articles an article on the Karachi educational workshop is laid in. Other ephemeral items include a small handwritten card with the numbers one through ten translated into Pakistani along with two Pakistani phrases and a certificate from the USEFP and the Directorate of Education in Peshawar inviting the bearer to attend the "Certificate Awarding Ceremony" of the teacher's workshop in that city to be held at the "No. 1 Govt. High School Peshawar." The United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan was established in 1950 and is still an active organization devoted to educational cooperation between the United States and Pakistan. According to their website: "USEFP is guided by a binational commission composed of an equal number of Pakistanis and Americans with the Chair alternating each year between a Pakistani and an American. USEFP is one of 49 'Fulbright Commissions' located throughout the world. Since 1951 when the first group of Pakistani grantees traveled to America and in 1952 when the first American grantees visited Pakistan the USEFP has fostered mutual understanding between the people of Pakistan and the people of the United States through educational and cultural exchange. More than 8000 Pakistanis and around 935 Americans have participated in USEFP administered exchange programs. The Foundation receives support and counsel from both the Pakistan and U.S. governments but it is not an agency of either. The Foundation supervises a variety of programs that send Pakistani students and scholars to American campuses while bringing American scholars to universities in Pakistan. The goal of all USEFP programs is to help Pakistanis learn more about the U.S. and to help Americans learn more about Pakistan and its people." An interesting and unique record of the early years of the USEFP's efforts at educational diplomacy in Pakistan. Twenty-two large-format professional photographs 6 x 8 inches with decorated tissue guards most with typed captions mounted beneath the images. Thirty smaller format vernacular photographs a partially-printed certificate a small handwritten card and three newspaper or magazine articles pasted in or laid in. Oblong quarto. Contemporary maroon textured leatherette photograph album made in Pakistan string tied paper label taped to the front board reading: "With Compliments from the Education Department Lahore Pakistan." Minor soiling to binding moderate wear to paper label. Contents generally clean and in excellent condition. Very good overall. hardcover

réf. 43071Photograph of Calvin Coolidge by Harris & Ewing. Inscribed in the lower border "To Frederick I. Cox With regards Calvin Coolidge.” Blindstamped in the lower left by Harris & Ewing. The photograph measures 8 inches by 12 inches. Double matted and framed. The entire piece measures 16.25 inches by 20.25 inches. The 30th President of the United States Calvin Coolidge began his political career in Massachusetts state politics. His response to the Boston Police Strike of 1919 thrust him into the national spotlight and gave him a reputation as a man of decisive action. Soon after he was elected as the 29th Vice President in 1920 and succeeded to the presidency upon the sudden death of Warren G. Harding in 1923. unknown
1919réf. 13271Boston: Houghton Mifflin 1919. Second Edition. Very good-. Octavo 275pp. illustrated. Stated "Second edition enlarged" with date on the title page thus probably the first printing of this edition. Front inner hinge cracked but holding private library stamp to the front free endpaper and the ownership signature of Harold Peabody on that same leaf; overall about very good. Laid in are three interesting documents; first a typed letter on Coolidge's official stationery as Governor of Massachusetts SIGNED and dated November 5 1920 addressed to Peabody and thanking him for his "gracious message." The message in question was undoubtedly congratulating Coolidge on his victory in the 1920 election in which he had been elected Vice President under Warren G. Harding. Next is a 12pp. pamphlet 16mo containing two pieces of Coolidge's writing namely his Inaugural Address before the U. S. Senate given on March 4 1921 and a prize-winning essay he wrote while attending Amherst College in 1895 entitled "The Principles Fought For in the American Revolution." Finally a seemingly unrelated menu dated 1929 for a dinner honoring General Pershing with a long split at one fold. Harold Peabody was a prominent Bostonian who was married to Marian Lawrence Peabody whose diaries were published in 1967 under the title "To Be Young Was Very Heaven." The small pamphlet was published by the United Shoe Machinery Corporation headquartered in Boston and no doubt inclined to heap praises on their sitting Governor who had just been elected Vice President. The pamphlet is retained by just three institutions per OCLC: AAS Harvard and the University of Michigan. As far as we can tell it seems to represent the only printing of Coolidge's college essay--at least the only one locatable in OCLC--until David Pietrusza's 2012 book: "Calvin Coolidge on the Founders" which also reproduced the essay.
